Hello!
I'm a writer, teacher, and traveler. I've authored four best selling books in the fields of literacy, linguistics, non-formal education, family, and social psychology. The titles include Language, Learning, and Life, Reading 100 Books in a Year, The Ultimate IBDP Economics Help Guide, and Having Children.
I've previously taught in schools at all academic levels, including two years in South Korea where I taught in a public middle and a private elementary school. I then returned to California where I taught at both the university and community college levels. Upon leaving California for the second time, I spent three months teaching in Dubai for the Emirati military before continuing on to Singapore to work at an international K-12 school where I currently teach economics at the high school level and serve as the Head of Humanities for grades six through twelve.
I am a graduate of USD where I earned an M.Ed. in TESOL, Literacy, and Culture. I also hold undergraduate degrees in economics and mathematics from CSUCI. I currently live in Singapore with my wife.
